Phlox is a perennial herbaceous plant: an introduction to its floral characteristics

Alternative names of phlox

Sky-blue hydrangea, panicled phlox, phlox flower, fule flower, five-color plum.

Growth habits of phlox

Phlox likes a warm environment, is cold-tolerant, and fears high temperatures.

Phlox is best grown in sandy soil that drains well and is loose in texture; it is not drought-tolerant and fears waterlogging.

Phlox is commonly propagated by sowing; seeds can remain viable for 1~2 years, and the suitable germination temperature is 15~20°C. Both spring sowing and autumn sowing are possible; when sown in autumn in open ground, measures must be taken to keep it warm through the winter.

Phlox has a long flowering period and its seeds are easy to harvest; during care, to prevent the seeds from shedding, the flower clusters can be picked early, and after drying the seeds are extracted.

Welcome, generosity.

People who like phlox have this kind of personality: you do not like getting involved in disputes and prefer a peaceful life.

You should meet the impact on your soul frankly and create a new self.
